Florida Medical Malpractice FAQs

I Have Complications from Surgery, Can I Sue?

You can file a lawsuit if the doctor or the hospital negligently or unnecessarily performed the surgery, or you were injured as a result of a surgical error. However, if the doctor or hospital was not negligent, and the complications were expected, then you most likely will not be able to sue. “Expected complications” are usually the kinds of things you hear about when your doctor explains the procedure, or when you sign a consent form. Each surgery is different, and the complications that can result vary greatly. It is therefore very important for you to consult a lawyer who is experienced in medical malpractice.

Can I Sue for Misdiagnosis?

If you were misdiagnosed or given the wrong diagnosis, this may amount to negligence by the doctor. If the outcome and complications were a result of the doctor’s negligence, you can file a lawsuit for your damages. These damages can include your pain and suffering, loss of income (both past and future), medical bills.

My Doctor Ignored My Concerns While I was Pregnant and My Baby Was Stillborn. What Are My Options?

The fact that the doctor ignored your concerns is not the dispositive point; the question is whether or not the doctor was negligent in ignoring your concerns. At Freidin Brown, we thoroughly investigate each and every case to determine whether the doctor was negligent and whether the child was stillborn as a result of that negligence. If we do find negligence, we can file a claim to recover money for your pain and suffering.

Can I Sue A Doctor for Prescribing the Wrong Medication?

You can sue if your doctor prescribed the wrong medication and that error caused you injury. Providing a patient with the wrong medication is a very frequent occurrence in hospitals, and terrible things can happen. If you were injured as a result of a prescription error, it is important that you immediately contact our office so that we can assess whether you should file a lawsuit.

My Baby was Born with a Brain Injury after I was Neglected by Doctors. Can I Sue?

In most lawsuits involving medical care, you have to prove negligence—that is, that the medical professional failed to act as a reasonably careful professional would have under the circumstances. If the doctors, nurses, or hospital was negligent, and the negligence resulted in a serious injury to your baby, then you can sue. This includes brain injuries, brachial plexus injuries (injuries to the nerves of the arm), and other serious consequences.

Can I Sue for a Medical Misdiagnosis?

You have the right to sue for your damages if you’re a victim of medical negligence. Medical negligence cases can be highly technical and expensive, so it is important to hire experienced lawyers who are not afraid of putting their own money into your case. At Freidin Brown, we cover all litigation expenses, and you only pay us is if there is a recovery for you.

I Had Surgery and I’m Worse Off than Before. What Are My Options?

Not all surgical injuries are things for which you can file a lawsuit. Your injury must be a result of surgical negligence or unnecessary surgery. In either scenario, you will have to prove that the doctor fell below acceptable standards of care (i.e., the doctor failed to act as a reasonable doctor would under the circumstances). If you can prove that the doctor’s negligence caused injury to you, you may be able to recover money for your damages.

Can I Sue a Florida Hospital?

Yes, you can sue a hospital for a variety of things that cause injury, including physician negligence. We often see hospital cases that involve emergency rooms, radiology errors, neonatology departments (NICU), and anesthesia errors. You can also sue the hospital for a nurse’s failures, as well as for medication errors.
